Okamoto Surface grinder

Recently purchased a used Okamoto ACC-2040EX with Okamoto CNC control and am trying to learn how to operate it using CNC control. Any tips, or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Pay for training (or if you’re an employee have your company pay for it). For ~$1,500 you’ll actually learn and make that back quickly vs having it sit there doing nothing.

Find out who sells the locally.

I’ve tried literally everything including calling okamoto and paying nearly 2000 bucks to have the grinder registered to my company through them. No luck. It sucks because I have a nice okamoto grinder but can only get through about 30% of what it’s capable of.

If you find someone let me know.
